NSC17/AL BS

Detector aluminum coating: Resonance Frequency (F): 13 kHz Spring Constant (K): 0.18 N/m

Cantilevers of the 17 series with low spring constant are used mostly in contact mode AFM. It is possible to adjust the scanning parameters to minimize the tip-sample force. Imaging in tapping mode gives the true topography of soft samples.

Typical probe tip radius of uncoated tip: 8nm
Full tip cone angle: 40°
Total tip height: 12 - 18 µm
Probe material: n-type Silicon
Probe bulk resistivity: 0.01 - 0.025 Ohm*cm
Detector coating: Aluminum
